Well, I never thought we’d be here: taking the T-shirt (the Fredo Corleone of our wardrobe family) and making it smart. Just thinking about rehousing the countless band T-shirts I have accumulated and rehousing them in this non-sloppy, covered-in-pizza-and-toddler-snot world, blows my mind.

But perhaps that’s a step too far. Forget the band T-shirt and stick with one plain colour. Under a jacket, it could even replace your smart shirt. Study the nuances of a Giorgio Armani show – there’s a man who knows how to make even the most basic of basics classy.
